This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving normally, down my driveway, at approximately 3 mph, and my spare tire detached and fell off the undercarriage of my truck while the vehicle was in motion. The cable holding the tire in place broke. Nothing has been done to correct this problem. My spare tire is no longer able to be attached to my vehicle. If this happened on a highway, someone could have been killed.
: the contact stated the spare tire was damaged while stored in the well of the vehicle. There was a hole in the sidewall due to the tire not being securely attached to the vehicle. Although the tire pressure had been monitored by the contact on a regular basis, three to four times a year, the contact never released the tire from the well. He only checked the pressure while the tire was still attached to the vehicle, therefore, the contact was unaware that the tire was not securely attached. The owner's manual did not provide instructions on how to remove the spare tire for regular inspection.
